Tech Staffing & Recruitment
“The team at ThorTech goes the extra mile to understand their client’s business, mission, and team culture – pair that with their intensive technical vetting process and you get quality candidates. That’s what keeps me coming back for every new role we open.”
– Managing Director, Matrix Applications
Problem
A longstanding client of ThorTech’s in the fintech space decided it was time to establish its own internal DevOps team to continue providing innovative solutions in the capital market space, but did not have the technical recruiting expertise to find the right candidates. Since this type of role was uncharted territory for the client and they had experienced prior successful recruitment and consulting engagements with ThorTech, the client came to us to help them execute.
When ThorTech started this project with them, the client knew they needed a Senior DevOps Engineer, however, throughout the process, it became clear a Junior DevOps Engineer was also needed to support the team appropriately.
Solution
ThorTech started this project with a deep understanding of their DevOps needs as our internal expert consulting team had previously led a project for this client to containerize several components and build out an automated continuous integration system and also support their compliance requirements. This knowledge allowed ThorTech’s team to have clarity around the existing infrastructure and the level of experience a candidate would need to continue scaling.
Our recruiting team was able to place a Senior DevOps Engineer and Junior DevOps Engineer with the desired skill sets for this fintech client with a hybrid environment and very high compliance and security requirements.
Outcome
Bringing in ThorTech’s expert recruiting team allowed the client to create their first internal DevOps team and continue to innovate their suite of fixed-income market solutions. ThorTech’s intense technical vetting process results in a 90% conversion-to-hire rate across all roles, freeing up our clients’ time to focus on revenue-generating activities.
